Gazillion, the developer for the game, launched a poll at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year asking players what character they would like to see added to Marvel Heroes. Magik was added to the game after winning the poll by a large margin.

Magik becomes the 53rd playable character in the game. She is voiced by a prolific voice actress, Tara Strong. Strong has voiced many characters such as Meg Griffin’s singing voice in Family Guy, and recently she voiced Harley Quinn in Batman: Arkham City.

Magik can be purchased hrough the Magik Hero Pack on Marvel Heroes for $18. The pack comes with:
